Why was I banned??

First off, much respect to everyone here.

I’ve been hanging around this subreddit for a while now, and honestly, I’ve never had any intention of being disrespectful or derailing a thread just for the sake of it.

But anyway, let’s get straight to the point,
the moderator velvettrucker52 actually slapped me with a ban for my last comment—and the worst part is, it was in the Messenger area??? 🤷

And it lasted two years—in that time, I heard all sorts of things about him. Most of all, how he’s constantly running away from his own shadow. I don't know why, and it's not my business to dig into it. He’s got the life he chose for himself; I love him and look after him from my seat, but for everything else, he’s got his wife and kids.

I mean, you could see that exact same trait in plenty of people participating in this thread.
Best Wishes,

Look, making mistakes isn't the end of the world—we all mess up sometimes, including the moderator velvettrucker52 this time around—but I really feel like when something like this happens, an apology should be in order!

The President suspended you due to an accumulation of points.

The specific violation that led to your suspension—which I already explained to you via Messenger—was trolling in the infidelity discussion thread. You jumped right into the middle of an ongoing argument with a highly offensive remark claiming that many people in that thread were "panicking to escape their own selves" (referring to the portion of the quoted post you bolded).
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding provocative posts in that specific topic, a rule clearly laid out in the opening post.

I stand by the decision to flag you for trolling and, as I mentioned in our private messages, I have no intention of apologizing for it.
Furthermore, if anyone here owed an apology, it would be for the content and sheer volume of the private messages you sent me, which I am more than willing to hand over to the admins for review. Personally, I don't feel an apology is necessary, so there’s no point in wasting breath on it.

This response is intended for the admins so they are fully aware of the situation; consider this my final word in our correspondence.

Actually, he wasn't banned. 😬

The specific strike that got you banned—which I already explained to you in our Messenger chats—was for trolling in that thread about cheaters. You jumped right into an ongoing argument with this super offensive claim that a lot of people in that topic are basically 'panicking and running away from themselves' (that was part of the post you bolded and then tried to lecture everyone about).
On that particular thread, we have zero tolerance for provocative posts, which is laid out pretty clearly in the opening post.

I stand by that strike for trolling and, just like I told you in private, I have absolutely no intention of apologizing for it.
Actually, if anyone needs an apology here, it would be for the sheer amount and tone of the private messages you've been spamming me with—messages I can easily hand over to the admins if they want to see them. But honestly, I don't owe you anything, so let's not waste time.

I'm writing this response specifically for the admins so they know exactly what's going on, and as far as I'm concerned, this conversation with you is officially over.

Look, lady,
what exactly is so offensive about saying that a bunch of cheaters are just running away from who they really are? Maybe you saw yourself in those words? I mean, there are entire books and memoirs written just to prove my point, so it’s hardly a wild claim. 🤷

None of the actual people in that discussion felt insulted, and nobody even snapped back at you—except for you, swooping in like some self-appointed sheriff trying to police everyone else. 🤷

Are you really that desperate to prove how much better you are than everyone else?☕

Anyway, I'm done here. Peace out.
